Partie de Lisbonne, Cidália arrive dans la chaleur moite de Macao au printemps 1706. La ville est gouvernée conjointement par les Portugais et la dynastie mandchoue, nouveaux maîtres de la Chine. C'est dans ce contexte trouble et de corruption que Cidália fait la connaissance de Xue Dan. Chacune d'elles a une difficile mission à remplir. Leur vient alors une idée audacieuse pleine de dangers !
I really liked this comic. The story about the captain who tries to visit her friend and the friend who tries to explain to the captain that love really exists. Every type of love is in this book: sister love, love between married people, love for the kid, brother love, patriotism ... also all the ugly parts and ugly creatures are there... This put the attention to slavery (also with children), the difficult places for women in the world (and especially in the past), the status (that was proclaimed by men)... I'm curious of there will be a next one.
